Abstract

The influence of the technological parameters on the course of the epoxidation of allyl alcohol with 30% H~2~O~2~ in the presence of titanium silicalite TS‐2 catalyst and methanol as a solvent was studied. The process was performed in an autoclave at the autogenic pressure. The influence of temperature in the range 20–120 °C, molar ratio of allyl alcohol/H~2~O~2~ (1:1–10:1), methanol concentration in the reaction mixture (10–80% w/w), catalyst TS‐2 concentration (0.1–2.0% w/w) and reaction time (1–8 h) were investigated. The functions describing the process were: selectivity of transformation to glycidocidol in relation to allyl alcohol consumed, selectivity of transformation to organic compounds in relation to hydrogen peroxide consumed, conversions of allyl alcohol and hydrogen peroxide.
